Norifumi “Kid” Yamamoto Meets Darren Uyenoyama at UFC on FOX

The UFC may have enjoyed some time off for Labor Day, but they are certainly making up for lost time today. After announcing Brock Lesnar and Alistair Overeem would headline their New Year’s weekend extravaganza, the company proceeded to confirm several scraps for their debut on FOX.

A bantamweight bout between Japanese superstar Norifumi “Kid” Yamamoto and Octagon rooking Darren Uyenoyama was added to the November 12th card on Tuesday afternoon.

Yamamoto owns a 18–4 (1 NC) record, but dropped a unanimous decision loss to Demetrious Johnson in his UFC debut this past February. The veteran has lost three of his last four contests.

Uyenoyama owns a 6-3 professional mark and earned his shot at the big leagues by posting a TKO victory over Shuichiro Katsumura at “Shooto 5” in September 2010.
